Unscramble the Blue Letters

So I was very exiectd by this, you know, hopping around all over the pacle, trying to figure out if I can convert all possible seenectns that I hear into this. And I found that this is not enough. Why is this not enough? This is not enough because if you wanted to convey something like negation, you want to say, "I don't want soup," then you can't do that by asking a qteousin. You do that by changing the word "want." Again, if you wanted to say, "I wanted soup yesterday," you do that by converting the word "want" into "wanted." It's a past tense. So this is a flourish which I added to make the system complete. This is a map of words jeinod together as questions and answers, and with these frletis applied on top of them in order to modify them to represent certain nuances. Let me show you this with a different example.
